23 февраля 2018г. на Бродвее начались первые предпоказы постановки "Ангелы в Америке" (Angels in America), которая переехала в Штаты после успеха в Лондоне и перетянула за собой в Нью-Йорк всех главных актеров, включая Эндрю Гарфилда. Официально первые спектакли для широкой публики начнутся 25 марта и продлятся до 1 июля 2018г. Билеты, к слову, не самые дешевые: стоимость начинается от $99. Но что-то нам подсказывает, что спрос на "A Gay Fantasia on National Themes" (с) будет и при такой стоимости неслабый. В таком ажиотаже стандартных инструментов привлечения внимания к постановке театр все равно не чурается: в феврале в американском глянце вышло сразу два интервью с Эндрю Гарфилдом, поддержанные новыми фотоснимками: в OUT Magazine и Variety. Преимущественно монохромный фоторяд - ниже по курсу.

OUT: For an actor, Prior Walter might be one of the most daunting characters ever written. He’s the consummately tormented, AIDS-afflicted gay man at the center of Angels in America, a 1980s-set, two-part, seven-plus-hour play that covers political, spiritual, sexual, medical, and metaphysical ground while swirling around the plights of its lead.

"On some terrible level, theater has never progressed past its origin as a blood sport — as a sacrificial ritual,” says Tony Kushner, Angels’ lauded playwright. "Somebody is getting cut open on the altar for the rest of us to sit safely and partake. In different ways, all eight of the characters in Angels do that, but Prior probably does it more than any other character. And you want an actor who’s going to go hell-for-leather—somebody who will be unsparing. The audience wants it, needs it, and appreciates it.” (Read more)

VARIETY: Andrew Garfield sits in the break room of a Brooklyn rehearsal complex extolling the virtues of a quilt.

"That quilt is maybe my favorite piece of art,” he says of the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, the massive, still-growing piece of folk art that commemorates people who have died of AIDS-related causes. "It’s got everything in it that makes art profound. It’s about the meaning of life; it’s about our interconnectedness; it’s about beauty; it’s about honoring the sacredness of life. It’s so much, that quilt.”

He pauses at the sound of voices carrying easily into a room that has no ceiling, and listens for a bit. "That’s ‘Roy Cohn’s Butt Boy’ next door,” he says at last. (Read more)
